7.1 Zip Install - Cannot find Alfresco Repository

[foetoid]

Attempting a build to get familiar with the product. After build completion 8080 returns: Cannot find Alfresco Repository on this server. (Does this application have access to alfresco-global.properties? Does this application have cross-context permissions?) and can't login on 8080/share.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Would like to be able to test your product.

There are some inconsistencies in the documentation between the following articles.

• Main: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/zip/
• ACS: https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/community/install/zip/tomcat/
• Database: https://docs.alfresco.com/sync-service/latest/install/database/#databases/postgres
• Search Services: https://docs.alfresco.com/search-services/latest/install/

Here's my full build process on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:

The error usually refers to share.loader misconfigured or system may not be able to read the alfresco-global.properties. Please cross check the configs and permissions that's the only clue here.

Hi foetoid,

maybe helpfull:

sudo apt install -y openjdk-11-jre tomcat9 postfresql activemq libreoffice imagemagick unzip libpostgresql-jdbc-jav

postfresql should be postgresql - right?

Have now rebuilt everything exactly as you indicated - but at following command there is failure at my system

cp /usr/share/java/postgresql*.jar /var/lib/tomcat9/lib/

cp: unable to call stat for '/usr/share/java/postgresql*.jar': file or directory not found

Had been the same failure at your system? On my system there is no *.jar at all.
